Derrick Rose is the first All-Star for the Chicago Bulls since Michael Jordan, but now it looks like the star point guard could miss out on his first All-Star game and his chance at defending his Skills Competition Title.  Early in the first quarter in last night’s game against the Orlando Magic, the explosive Rose drove hard to the hoop and took it up strong against the beast that is Dwight Howard.  While airborne, the 6-3 190 pound Rose was bumped hard by the 6-11 265 pound Howard and went down hard on his lower right back/hip.  Rose laid there for a while in obvious pain, clutching his hand to the point of impact.  He hobbled off the court with help from the trainer, and did not return to action.  He was taken to the locker room for X-rays, which fortunately were negative and showed no structural damage.  He was then taken to the hospital for a precautionary MRI, and results are still pending.  The Bulls were crushed after Rose left, losing 107-87.  I am optimistic that Rose will be okay, but at the very least he will have to deal with some pain and severe stiffness for a few days.  Hopefully things are not worse, especially since the Bulls have been without center and rebounding machine Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis).  It wasn’t all bad news for Rose last night though, as it was announced before the game that Rose was 1 of 27 players selected to be a part of the USA National Team pool, which will eventually be made into the 12 man roster for the 2012 Olympics in London.
